  my 93 yr. old widowed destitute mother has dementia.

  i am her only child.

  I talk a lot about realizing what other people think is not important. I hate to hear you are going through all of this but there is something good that can come out of this.

  First, I would talk to an attorney today. I am not sure if you have been receiving and cashing your Mom's social security checks while she is in these homes. If so, you need to get that worked out ASAP. It is possible you may have done something illegal or incorrect, with out realizing it. From what you said it sounds like your Mom got denied for medicare based on the assumption that she was living at home and receiving her benefit. One can't be in long term facility and at home. These nursing homes get stiffed all the time when relatives dump patients and don't follow through with medicare to make sure they get their benefit.

  Moving on, just make sure you are handling your biz and don't waste energy defending yourself to others. You will experience a freedom that is not found in the cult. It is hard, but liberating. You have enough to deal with, with out worrying about the judgement of people that want to believe what they want to believe about you and your husband.

  LAST CALL: Give a piece of advice to JW's going into the New Year

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here is my advice to jehovah's witnesses everywhere.. .

  it is okay to treat each day as if it were your last if it makes you more grateful, humble and kind.. but, if it becomes your excuse for neglecting your life, your sense of charity, your education and your humanity---then, shut the hell up about end times and make a new beginning.. start with here and now....today....improving this world any way you can.

  stop thinking of everybody else as some kind of "enemy" that deserves to die if they don't read your magazine.. the sooner you comprehend that your truth is just another opinion the better off you'll be.. oh, and try loving people who don't think the same way you do.. start with those brothers and sisters you've been turning your back on.

  What other people think does not matter at the end of the day. That goes for apostates, Elders, neighbors, and family. Find you own happiness and run with it.

  there is a middle-agged gentleman that i have been seeing at church for a while.

  i was a little early and decided to say hello and make a new friend a couple of weeks ago.

  the blood probably drained from my face when i saw the big oversized version of the nwt laying in the pew.

The blood probably drained from my face when I saw the big oversized version of the NWT laying in the pew. "Oh a NWT", I said. "Yes, my friend gave that to me." I was saved by the beginning of the service. I am not sure how to approach this if I do at all....

  Any suggestions?

  Pamsgirl, now you are equating shunning with child neglect are you eff'n serious?

  I think anyone that had to beg for food or go to school smelling like ass because their neglectful crack head parent wasn't around would find a hard time gathering pity for someone that got kicked out of a cult.

  Like I said, not caring what JW's think about you anymore is a sign that one is getting healthier.

  God bless to all of you, I gotta check out of this board again before I lose my mind.

  Equating Shunning with Bullying is ridiculous. Bullying is an active and overt act like assault, murder, robbery. Shunning is just choosing to not do something. Shunning is a passive act, it is not bullying. I do not get it, we can't make everyone like us.

  I do think the JW's views on shunning is ridiculous, but that is a matter of values. Yes, it is hurtful but only because at somepoint we gave a rat's ass what they thought about us. Sometimes, I do not understand this forum to save my life.

  Do yall think you can force someone much less a group of eff'd up people to like you? Is calling it "bullying" going to change any minds?

  I think the more important discussion is the co-dependentcy issues that are created/aggrivated in some of these groups. Obviously just leaving the group does no resolve those issues. I include myself in that group.

  Life is two short to worry about who is choosing to not like me. I have my hands full dealing with those that do want to be in my life.

  A Smurfy Tale: Papa Smurf Meets the Jehovah's Witnesses

  brother and sister bishop had to be the most annoying witnesses in our congregation.

  sister bishop was a shrill overweight busybody who had nothing else better to do than spread rumors about both people and inanimate objects.

  on the other hand, brother bishop was a rail thin cuckold of a man nearly 20 years younger than his wife.

  Lawyers: Can a Jehovah's Witness sue the Watchtower Society for Civil Rights violations?

  by Balaamsass in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i have been on boards and run businesses, and been reminded by more than one cpa and attorney to cross ts and dot i s regarding corporate requirements or we would become liable to lawsuits.. therefore, my questions to any attorneys and cpas, and the keen minds on this board, are the following;.

  i have been reading old threads on this site about watchtower society irregularities regarding tax filings with state and federal agencies.

  evidently, a number of filings for different years were identical (unlikely if not impossible) or missing.

  In my professional experience (not as an attorney or CPA) piercing the corporate veil is only relevant when trying to execute a judgement. For example, I sue Bob's Auto Repair, Inc for a million dollars because the blew up my Million dollar Rolls Royce.

  If Bob's Auto Repair, Inc writes me a check for a million than there is nothing to consider with "piercing the corporate veil". They paid their judgement.

  However, if Bob walks out of court, refuses to pay me and hangs a closed sign in the window only to reopen as Bob's Auto Repair II, Inc the next week, then we have to look at piercing the corp veil. (Yes, I have seen this many times with small businesses)

  Generally, a judge won't do this unless either A) the corporations shareholders/owners behaved criminally while damaging the complaintant or B) Treated the corporations property "as their own" and not the corporations property when dissolving the corp.

  For example, if Bob's Auto Repair, Inc had 500k worth of tools, assets, and inventory and he sold it and paid 500k of the judgement and dissolved the corp properly, a court is very unlikely to pierce the corp veil. My judgement basically bankrupted the corp, put him out of biz.

  However, if Bob blew the car up while using it as a mobile meth lab or just took all his 500k worth of assetts home and moved them into the new shop then the court is more likely to pierce the corporate veil. Bob didn't close out the company's biz, he basically looted his own corporation.

  So, in short your corporate veil question is the cart and your grounds for bringing suit against the WTBS is the horse. If you sued the society and won I am sure they have the assets to cover it. By piercing the corporate veil you are asking to hold the personal shareholders financially responsible for any judgements. Piercing the corp veil is only about civil law, not criminal. If you break the law, you break the law whether you are working for a corp or walking down the street. Unless, your in American and a Defense contractor or Oil company (tongue-in-cheek)
